Desire Lines: Counter Mapping Queer Creative Health ✨
On view: Wed - Fri: 12 - 6 PM

This spring, we’re diving into queer creative health through radical mapping, collective storytelling, and immersive workshops. Explore River Újhádbor’s groundbreaking framework of radical mapping praxis, a 67-page report and wall-spanning illustrated map that uncovers the paths, histories, and desires shaping queer communities.

Experience Desire Lines by Jacob V. Joyce @jacobvjoyce — artwork depicting cruising zones from the UK, Trinidad, and Jamaica — tracing informal pathways of intimacy, care, and everyday defiance.

Throughout the season, join workshops and events that invite you to sing, improvise, create soundscapes, map your experiences, and imagine queer futures together.

Over the past three years, we’ve brought together artists, health practitioners, young people, organisers, academics, researchers, grassroots groups and cross-sector partners to better understand our role within society.

What’s emerged isn’t a fixed institution, but a growing, shape-shifting ecosystem — changing as new people join, relationships deepen and priorities evolve.

As an organisation-in-process, 2026 marks a significant moment for QUEERCIRCLE. Over the next 12 months, we’ll be co-developing our future strategy with this wider ecology, shaping a shared framework built around four interconnected pillars:

• Collective Governance - embedding experimentation, values and participation into our systems
• Cultural Democracy - resourcing communities with tools to create change
• Community Knowledge - lived-experience as expertise
• Solidarity Economies - building cross-sector, reciprocal financial and non-financial infrastructures

As we move through 2026, we’ll continue to share learning from our programme of inquiry — what’s working, what’s difficult and what’s shifting ✍️

We stand in solidarity with the trans community, yesterday, today, and forevermore.

No matter what society says, we love you and will continue to fight with and for you.

Trans Women are Women
Trans Men are Men
Non-Binary People are Non-Binary

This is not JUST a trans issue.
This impacts all of our human rights and bodily autonomy.

Poetry is Not A Luxury
🎤 An Open Mic Night for Black Queers & Queer POC
🗓️ June 11 | 6.30 - 9 PM

Using Audre Lorde's words as a prompt, you are invited to an informal evening of readings and open mic. Poetry, Lorde asserts, 'forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change.'

This evening event is a closed event for queer black people and queer people of colour to share poetic work and read through Lorde’s short two page essay together. Erotic poetry and work that explores sensuality, touch, satisfaction and pleasure is encouraged but all genres and themes are welcome.

🎤 Fill out the form in the event description to participate in the open mic

Thank you to everyone who joined the workshop 'Remapping Masculinity' with Sega and Kenya 💚

We began in conversation, sharing reflections on how masculinity is shaped by safety, passing and the pressures of cisheteronormativity. From there, we moved into making, using collage and Dada poetry to explore new ways of understanding and expressing masculinity.

Together, we started to imagine forms that feel more expansive, more self-defined and rooted in queer futures.

Keep an eye out for more workshops to be announced soon 👀

What does it mean to queer creative health?

At QUEERCIRCLE, we recognise that health isn’t just about individual choices. It’s shaped by the social and political conditions we live within: the systems that too often exclude, regulate or erase queer lives.

For many in our communities, especially those navigating multiple oppressions, harm is built into the very structures around us.

So instead of trying to fit into existing maps, we asked:
what if mapping itself could be reclaimed?

🗺️ Not as a fixed tool but as a collective practice
💭 For wellbeing, pleasure and liberation
🌱 For imagining and building new ways of being together

Find out more in our latest report 'Fragments of a Queer Radical Mapping Praxis'.

What is a map, really? 🗺️

It can be a tool for navigation, or a way of shaping what (and who) gets seen.

"To think about maps differently, we turn our attention to what maps do, what actions they might bring about. For us, a map isn’t only a finished diagram of streets or borders. It’s something that happens between people. A map can be a collage, a story, a song, a constellation, a pile of stones, or a shared memory."

What is a map, really? 🗺️

It can be a tool for navigation, or a way of shaping what (and who) gets seen.

"To think about maps differently, we turn our attention to what maps do, what actions they might bring about. For us, a map isn’t only a finished diagram of streets or borders. It’s something that happens between people. A map can be a collage, a story, a song, a constellation, a pile of stones, or a shared memory."
- River Újhadbor

Our latest report 'Fragments of a Queer Radical Mapping Praxis' is a living body of research by River Újhadbor that reimagines mapping as a practice. @themelancholyoftofu

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
